She can’t get past my inverted crosses
Nothing to do with the devil
She tells me to get as deep in her as I can
And possess her

She’ll come back
When the cemetery weather clears
We’ll talk about living
In a future without much fear

I believed my eyes would stay shut
To the sound of your voice
Though I had never heard your pitch
I just knew your tone was delicate

*There She Goes (Interlude)*

I saw us sitting at the park and talking
Everyone not minding us at all
I saw the morning congratulating us both
Dawn covering us at the same time
I just knew we were as early as the morning come
Your kindness telling me never mind
You were mine for a conversation
My eyes saying, “there she goes”

My imagination and soul, puts together this singing group
They’re singing for you, hoping these songs can be heard
Telling everyone at this lonely park
That she was supposed to be here
She’s sprawling with everything my dreams made a list of
There she goes, being unheard

*Half An Hour Without You/ I Knew You Too Soon*
__________________________________________
I figured you were catching up with the night
And answering questions from the stars
Giving advice to the fireflies
As well as adding sparkling effects, to the nearby lakes
Mentioning quiet nights alone
How often do we get this
I’m only asking because in my newest fable
You were by my window with wings

Half an hour without you
I figured I knew you too soon
You had become a hope so high
So soon, I’m hopeless now
I figure I’m thinking too deeply now
Surrounded by nothing serious
The doubts and worries that form a crowd
Was never really there at all

This new dream floats
It’s nothing like before
A sleep that I see feathers in
Floating around in a sparkling mist

Rain outside my window
But it hasn’t reached your bathroom
The sound of a shower against the phone
I know you’re washing off the day

Can these creme soda waves go crashing
In a cozy direction
I know how it feels
To chase something in the sky
That will never be yours

Regardless of ourselves
We can have that boyfriend experience
I can lie on top of you from behind
You can be naked on your stomach
Texting whoever on your phone
